1) Return a generic sense if TEST UNIT READY does not provide one;
2) Fix two mistakes in copying from the spec.

libmultipath has recently changed its API. The new API supports multi-threaded
clients better. Unfortunately there is no backwards-compatibility, so we just
switch to the new one. Running QEMU compiled with the new library on the old
library will likely crash, while doing the opposite will cause QEMU not to
start at all (because udev, get_multipath_config and put_multipath_config
are undefined).

Proper support of persistent reservation for multipath devices requires
communication with the multipath daemon, so that the reservation is
registered and applied when a path comes up. The device mapper
utilities provide a library to do so; this patch makes qemu-pr-helper.c
detect multipath devices and, when one is found, delegate the operation
to libmpathpersist.

Introduce a privileged helper to run persistent reservation commands.
This lets virtual machines send persistent reservations without using
CAP_SYS_RAWIO or out-of-tree patches. The helper uses Unix permissions
and SCM_RIGHTS to restrict access to processes that can access its socket
and prove that they have an open file descriptor for a raw SCSI device.
The next patch will also correct the usage of persistent reservations
with multipath devices.
It would also be possible to support for Linux's IOC_PR_* ioctls in
the future, to support NVMe devices. For now, however, only SCSI is
supported.
